La Antigua Casa Alcaldía de Carolina, diseñada a principios del siglo XX por el arquitecto puertorriqueño Rafael Carmoega, se destaca como pieza clave del noble patrimonio histórico que heredamos de nuestros antepasados.
Con el paso del tiempo, fue sometida a dos restauraciones, en el 1992 y ahora en el 2011, que junto a las cinco edificaciones contiguas que conforman el Distrito Histórico Cultural, desempeñará una importantísima y nueva función, como faro y centinela del movimiento cultural en esta Tierra de Gigantes. - René Acosta, Arquitectos
The Old City Hall of Carolina, designed in the early 20th century by Puerto Rican architect Rafael Carmoega, stands as a key piece of the noble historical heritage inherited from past generations.
Over time, it underwent two restorations—in 1992 and again in 2011. Along with the five adjacent buildings that comprise the Historic-Cultural District, it will serve a vital new role as a beacon and sentinel for the cultural movement in this Land of Giants. - René Acosta, Architects
Erected 2011 by José Carlos Aponte Dalmau, Alcalde [Mayor].
